Where to obtain Alexandrite - Please post experiences!

[Weiing]

1 dropped off GG1 last night, messed me up for a second b/c I thought we got a 35 drop

I feel you there...Just did Silver Sea tonight and I thought Deimos Leggings dropped off GG3 but it was just an Alexandrite... Got about 6-7 in total from doing GG1 and GG3 (clearing gears, killing NMs, etc)

50,000 is an impossible number. There has to be another way to obtain them besides just salvage. 1-3 per run is not possible period. If it is 1-3 per run, and that is the ONLY way to obtain them. It would take every server to get 1 person 50,000 in any resonable amount of time.

Someone suggested maybe trading in unused cells for alexandritesl; however unlikely this may seem, it is still worth someone trading them to the few NMs that would make sense to trade to. There MUST be a secret to it; like all of salvage. I know 1 thing tho, and that is 50,000 is not possible based on current drop rate.

Sooooo....

Anyone interested? :D

[rithridan]

Are people seriously pricing this in the millions?

[spooky]

Can you trade them to sockets? :0

[Indalecia]

Nah, I'm just seeing if I can get some lolJP to fall for it.

Hey...its Midgar

Increasing the drop rate of Alexandrite can actually complicate salvage runs, for example in SSR each mob already drops 3-4 cells, can you imagine adding 2-3 alexandrites to the treasure pool?

Having said that I still hope SE adjust the drop rate and make them part of the upgrade process. Will greatly benefit players who do salvage regularly since leader can now sell Alexandrite to help members fund salvage upgrade.

Except the entire concept about Nyzul Relics that made it so appealing was that you could do it with ACCOMPLISHMENTS and not how much your IGE statement was.

Fuck that shit

Yeah, put in an NPC who will take a certain amount of unused cells per day and give you 'drite's for them. Make it an appropriate time requirement for getting 50k, and you could choose to sell them, but the price would come down, but you could also self-fund a lot simpler.

Just because Alexandrite is sellable doesn't mean ppl must RMT their relic weapon. If you want to be 100% legit, level multiple mules to do salvage, it's still possible to upgrade TAU relic within reasonable timeframe and won't cost you a single penny.

Obviously the argument is based on the assumption that SE is going to adjust Alexandrite's drop rate. If that's the case I will probably keep all the alexandrites and let salvage members buy them with points. If ppl want alexandrite they will have to do salvage with us.

Someone bought my alexandrite for 50k, like 10 minute after i bazaar it after salvage >.>

[test123]

you can do 3 times as much salvage then dynamis, and you need only 10 people, dynamis needs 30-40.

So you get 12~ times as much Salvage done then dynamis

I think if the alexandrites are available as an option rather than forced (i'm still not sure how this works) , then this method was put in for that "Gilbuyer" as their path, yet the amount is set so high that they'd be turned off and rather do content. I still don't think that the 50k alexandrites are serious untill they start dropping in thousand pieces not hundredpieces.

[Lyramion]

Well.... GRATS...! This is what we recievd for asking for "small compensation" stuff from Salvage. Please remind people not to ask similar questions again! TY!

[Lordwafik]

I did SSR today, we left with like 6-8 alexandrites.

As you can see in the attatchment, you can get double drop, and they don't seem take the place of any drops (3 cells is normal from a gear) , but if they do I will be angry because we got one alexandrite from G1G We also got one from a door, so probably as the name insists, drop off all archaic machinery.

at that rate, it'll only cost the guy 2.5 Billion gil.

Confirmed in Bhaflau Remnant, single gear on 3rd floor has near 100% drop rate of Alexandrite. Killed 7 and 6 of them dropped Alexandrites.

Guess they aren't that rare, just need to find the right gears to kill.

Same for my group

[Corrderio]

Any drop from anything in Nyzul isle assault?

Doesn't seem that way sadly.

Personally... I think I'd rather redo all the assault zones, or kill Odin + 3 ToAU Beastmen kings if I ever decide to upgrade one of these.
